Hands
Everon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They carry our fortune
Written firmly into their palm
They may tremble and shiver
When we need it the least
But as well they may be all safe and calm
They give and take
They salute or wave goodbye
They caress a lover
Pull the trigger of a gun
Sign a treaty that seals the peace
They build cars and houses
And at times they save a life
Or go spreading the disease
They give and take
They tease and taunt
They salute or wave goodbye
They push and shove
They clutch and cling
Or hold somebody tight
It's all in those hands
They can do so much good
Can be so destructive
Hands shape the world
Hands break it down
They may clench into fists
Or as well be opened wide
Invite you or push you back
They may pin the words down
Of the book that will change your life
Or close around a victim's neck
They give and take
They tease and taunt
They salute or wave goodbye
They push and shove
They clutch and cling
Or hold somebody tight
It's all in those hands
They can do so much good
Can be so destructive
Hands shape the world
Hands break it down
Hands build it up again
The song "Hands" by Everon explores the duality of human hands - how they have the power to both create and destroy. The lyrics are a reflection on how hands shape the world, and how they can be used for good or evil depending on the choices we make. The first verse introduces the idea that hands are carriers of fortune, as what we do with our hands determines our fate. The second verse delves deeper into this concept by giving specific examples of how hands can be used to both give and take, tease and taunt, and express both love and violence. The chorus repeats that it is all in those hands, how they can do so much good or be so destructive, and that they shape and break down the world.
The third verse introduces the idea of choice - hands can clench into fists or be opened wide, they can invite or push back. The lyrics suggest that it is up to us to decide how we use our hands, whether we pin down words that will change lives or close around a victim's neck. The final chorus reinforces the idea that hands have the power to both build up and tear down.
The message of "Hands" is a reminder of the responsibility we have as human beings to use our hands for good, to create and to build instead of destroy. The lyrics are a call to action, urging us to be mindful of every choice we make with our hands as they have the ability to shape our future.
